FRAUD – INHERITANCE SCAM – NIGERIAN 419 SCAMMER

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your mail, i am Mr Ali Musa from Burkina Faso. I assure you once again that you stand no risk in assisting in this project as we are going to follow all the official and legal procedures to get all approvals in your favor as the beneficiary. I am a professional Accountant and with my position, am the Chief Auditor in this bank, we will surely succeed in this project. I am married with 3 children

2 girls and a boy. I am working with AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A.D.B) here in Burkina Faso where this money is. I have been following this file in the bank here and have seen that everything is perfect before contacting you for you assistance in the transfer of the fund.

The money has been in the account without any withdrawals and deposits. This made me to have special interest in the account. I followed up the account file only to discover that it is dormant and in the course of my investigation about the account, i found out that the owner of the account died with his wife and their only daughter in a plane crash.

Following the discovery of this account and the bank’s recommendation that after this fiscal year that the fund will be transferred to the apex bank as unclaimed bill, this warranted my search for an honest person who will apply for the release of the

fund and claim it so that we share it together in the ratio of 60:30, that is, 60% for me and 30% for your assistance while 10% will be used to settled any form expenditure inured in this transaction. I have worked here in the bank for a period of time now without

achieving anything that is why I want to utilize this opportunity.I know very well that you might be weary of the fact that you are not in any way related to the deceased man but according to the laws of inheritance in Burkina Faso one must not be a relative tothe deceased in order to be able to apply for inheritance, having taken note of this laws I have decided to present you to my bank as a business associate and next of kin to the deceased, of which you know that one’s business associate can come from any part of the world. So it doesn’t matter where you are from, this will certainly rule out all your fears.

However, this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as stated below:(a) My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality that it deserves.

(c) That you will not ask for more percentage or try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody, or fix up any form of blackmail to take the money alone.(d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by me after you have removed your share from the total amount before my arrival in your country as it might take me little time to retire and get my travel documents ready before arriving in your country.

This transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude it deal within 7-14 working days if you accord me your unalloyed support and co-operation. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with me.

Note, i will send the text of application form that you will complete and forward to the bank as soon as i receive your response of full cooperation with me in this transaction. Please respond and

assure me of your credibility and capability of handling this project with me. Call me upon the receipt of this mail for confirmation. Call me +226 78 33 47 68.Regards,Mr Ali Musa

RECOVERY (LOTTERY) SCAM – NIGERIAN 419 SCAMMER

NOTE: I’ve never been scammed by anyone but get alot of ‘recovery’ scam emails and because scammers are very unorganized, it’s possible I slipped on the ”suckers list” lol.. Oh well, the more emails the better because then that means I can post them on here and possibly save a (potential) victim.

Below are two emails sent by the same scammer under a different name, email-address and IP location. ( Suzan Chapman sends out scam mail under Williams Johnson & Ruben Maxwell )

Hello My DearI am Mrs. Suzan Chapman; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. My residential address is as follows P.O. Box 1920 Hazelton Drive Germantown, Tennessee 38138, United States, am thinking of moving since I am now wealthy. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Benin Republic many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $99,000, while in the United State, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to West Africa precisely Benin Republic with all my compensation documents, and I was directed to meet Barr. Ruben Maxwell, who is the member of OUTSTANDING PAYMENT AWARD COMMITTEE and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are Bogus (Fake).

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds amount of $1,5,000,000.00. Moreover, Mr. Williams Johnson, showed me the full information of those that won lottery, and those whose inheritance had not been paid and the list of all outstanding contractor that were owed that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your information’s as one of the scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Mr. Ruben Maxwell directly on this information below.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.The only money I paid after I met Dr. Thomas Boni Yayi was just $280 for the paper works, take note of that.
